Critical reception

edit

"Encore un soir" received critical acclaim from music critics. Nicolas Houle from La Presse wrote that "Encore un soir", written by Jean-Jacques Goldman, comes with remarkable restraint and subtlety and is without a doubt the strongest track on the album.[8] Alain de Repentigny, from La Presse+ stated that the title track, an ode to life, makes an impact on the album and during the live performances as well.[9] "Encore un soir" was also praised by Le Figaro, Femme Actuelle, Ciné Télé Revue, Public.fr, HollywoodLife.com and Idolator, as a touching tribute to Dion's late husband, René Angélil.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
